Delay Definition: Delay refers to the intentional slowing down or postponement of network traffic or data transmission for security purposes to prevent unauthorized access or attacks.
A delay in cybersecurity refers to a deliberate slowing down of processes or actions within a system to impede or hinder potential threats or attacks. Delays can be implemented as a protective measure to provide more time for security mechanisms to detect, respond, or mitigate malicious activities or unauthorized access attempts. Delays aim to increase the time and effort required for adversaries to accomplish their objectives, thereby enhancing the overall security posture of the system or network.
Delay is one of the topics you'll master in the CCNA Boot Camp.
